Used the rod this morning took a few casts to get used to using a new rod, fishing with a fresh easterly wind didn’t help much as first lure I wanted to use was patch 100,two casts in and got a hit in the dark but didn’t stick, but good feedback from the tip, next cast another hit but this time the fish stayed on! A small 40cm fish you can feel everything through the blank, every lunge and head shake.
What I noticed straight away was the length between reel centre and butt cap was a good 40-50cm more than I’m used to which didn’t cause problems but makes it feel awkward for me, but I love really short handles.
But here’s where the rod really shined, casting lures like the frosty, asturi 110 I was getting an easy 5-7mtrs over my shoregame 8”8’ and with a patch2 I ran out of water ( fishing a estuary mark ) This rod is fantastic casting Rod,
Didn’t try SP’s so cant say
How is feedback through the rod when working lures?

Am tempted but suspect I'll end up with something else.
 
Just a little pre-autumn top-up :whistling:.
